I challenged Shaun White to a 1 on 1 and beat him bad. Burton said they would sponsor me with no restrictions.. I said no because I'm too good for Burton

Seriously OP.. No money, no camera, internetz claimz..... If you truly can do what you are saying and Flow offered you a sponsorship, you are dumb for not taking it. Not sure if I believe your post at this point.

Im still over here doin my quad corks, yall saw the video i posted on the tube right?!?

I appreciate all of the responses guys. To the guy saying I'm claiming stuff, I completely understand man it's an online site an I have no video to back it up. If you guys give me some time I'll find a local filmer and hit you all with an edit. Thanks again everyone.

Dude here's the thing.

If we rode like we do now but hopped in a time machine 5 or 10 years ago there would be thousands of pros. To be a pro means to ride at a level that the rest of the industry is catching up to. And you have to ride at that ever increasing level with a consistency of pros until you do so for so long that people will want to watch you.

Don't get me wrong, if you aren't bullshitting you've closed most the distance, but if you want to go pro you are going to have to push yourself as hard as you can from here on out every single year.

Flow sent me some stickers... I'm sponsored, right?

Seriously, you should have said yes to them... It would have been experience under your belt, and helped you get in with more companies.

I'm new to this site but i've always looked for a place to ask questions. I'm 16 years old, and I ride at Big boulder park PA. I love snowboarding to death and i couldn't see myself doing anything else when im older. Which brings me to the question, whats the chances I have to go pro? I have a decent bag of tricks i guess but im not sponsored. I've been offered by flow but i turned them down because their boards suck. I can throw 900's (most grabs besides like seatbelts, double tails. The weird ones.) I can Double rodeo 10, BS double cork 10 & im working on FS double cork 900's this weekend. My rail game is okay, I can do the normal bs/fs 270's on 270's out. Blunts/boards/nose & tail. I just want to know what it takes for me to reach that level. Anyone have a clue?

Cool you can claim on the Internet. That's like half way to being pro. I mean every good rider just trolls the forums of the Internet talking about tricks they can do and how no one else can.

Well I know what you mean. Sometimes I ditch my girlfriend and friends so I can land a new trick. I really have no reason to lie, I think my biggest problem is I lack a camera man & an editor. What can i do?

first i'd say find someone who can tape you... then i'd say learn how to edit it yourself... its not hard at all for most programs it's drag and drop into the space. Plus it's a good skill to have incase snowboarding doesnt work out for you... Oh, and unfortunately you need a triple to even consider going pro these days... (lame right?)

I have entered in 1 competition last year. It was a big air contest at Blue mountain Pennsylvania. I got first place with a perfect score. Landed fs cab 9 tuck knee and bs 7 nose to tail grab. Copied that one from the legend sage himself haha. That's where flow offered to sign me on the spot but I turned it down because they're known for their stiff boards. I have gotten offers from little companies if I just post photos but I want something huge. Nitro has contacted me in the past but I don't have a filmer. My parents just can't afford it honestly and I'm only 16.

Claimers going to claim and trolls going to troll.

If you can afford to snowboard you can afford to get a camera or hire someone to film you.

OP: Maybe you should look up a company called DCSnow... I heard they are huge and give huge sponsor deals with totally open contracts to lots of unknown riders.

Lol nice sarcastic post. OP why are you turning down free shit? Not all of flow's boards are super stiff. You could probably find something you like. And getting your name out there is the most important part.
